Forest Park Reservation Commission of 

 New Jersey. First Annual Report. 

 For the year ending October 31, 1905; 

 Trenton, N. J., pp. 27. Illustrated. 



Although the law for the establish- 

 ment of forest reservations in New Jer- 

 sey was only passed in March, 1905, the 

 commission in charge of its execution 

 has been actively at work. The report 

 presented contains the text of the law 

 under which they are operating, an ad- 

 ministrative report covering their work 

 from March to October inclusive and 

 a chapter on forest fires. While New 

 Jersey should have begun this work 

 many years ago, it is encouraging to see 

 the present activity. 



Eleventh Annual Report of the Commis- 

 sioner of Public Roads of New Jersey. 



For year ending October 31, 1904. 



Trenton, N. J., pp. 220. Illustrated. 



Here again we have an excellent ex- 

 ample of what may be done to improve 

 public highways and thereby promote the 

 upbuilding of a state's general welfare. 

 New Jersey has taken the lead in the 

 good roads movement, and these annual 

 reports of its commissioner contain a 

 splendid object-lesson to other commu- 

 nities.
